Hacked iPhone

Hacked for three years by hacker getting info from our (former) shared router. Now, shortcuts and open source licenses are my enemy as both are used to a HUGE degree to control my phone remotely. All confirmed by Apple, btw? Anyone know how to combat shortcuts? I’ve never used one but there are 232 new ones on my phone and about 250

open source licenses installed.

Troubleshooting Device Hacking:


A. About a Hacked Router:

Why Risk an Unsecured Router?

Just get a net router --one that has WiFi 6 built into it. It uses High-End Encryption, and is the most up-to-date router series you can find. I would recommend changing your network's password, and, perhaps the SSID (the name of your network). Note that you'll need to make the change on all of your devices --but it seem the best rout to take.


B. About a Hacked iPhone:

Set this Up Anew:

If you are so concerned, then reset your iPhone, as if you were to sell it. Perform as interacted here, including the iCloud Logout and backup creation: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
